Single-Sex Camp Means

• Breaking gender stereotypes — girls interact with women in positions of authority and boys interact with men who act as nurturers
• More opportunities to "Be Yourself" without impressing or competing with the opposite sex
• Camp philosophy may be tuned into gender strengths and weaknesses
• Brother or sister camps may share activities

Co-ed Camp Means

• Breaking gender stereotypes — girls interact with women in positions of authority and boys interact with men who act as nurturers
• Mirrors and prepares campers for everyday living — the world is co-ed
• Allows families with a boy and a girl to attend same camp
• Offers diverse points of view
• Breaks through rigid divisions set up in school when campers participate on equal footing
